sorry for the unexpected blog break. we just arrived home tonight from visiting aaron’s family in minnesota. we had a great time, and i have many days ahead of photo editing in my future. and we also came home plus one. uncle zeb is staying with us for the next few weeks, so blogging may be light. will post photos of our trip soon hopefully. it was so fun to see all the grandkids playing together. there are six total to date and they cracked me up. i got to smother the newest addition, fynn, with lots of love. and he told me i’m his favorite. he made that pretty clear, well, to me anyways, with all his smiles and i even think i may have gotten his first giggle. i miss him already. ah, the scent of a newborn. i miss that.

A few blogs I follow have a dedicated day to just one photo. No words. SouleMama does hers on Fridays, Cakies does hers on Tuesdays. So let’s try this for Wednesdays. It will also help motivate me to get my camera out more often.

Right now these are lining my bookshelf and I cannot wait for some breathing time where I can actually enjoy them and try out the ideas.

I love her, the blogger SouleMama. This is her second book. Her first book I devoured. Makes me want to be a better Mama.

I haven’t tried anything new and impressive out on my sewing machine. But I was extremely proud of myself for altering 2 of Greta’s clothing items this week. We bought an adorable dress at Target, one hopefully you will see a lot of in the coming weeks, and a cute pair of jean leggings for her. The problem with normal kids clothes is they are made for normal size kids. Greta is kind of a peanut. So I took in her dress about an inch on each side and it worked! And it’s not even obvious that I am a heinous sewer! And I also took in her leggings on each side so they don’t fall down and expose her bum. And that worked too!

Hallelujah!

Happy weekending! We are prepping for some family time in the sun this weekend. It’s been in the 70s all week here and I remember again why we live in urban Los Angeles, when you walk out the door in the middle of March in flip flops and shorts. That’s why.

Greta requested the fabrics for this particular owl and then picked out the t shirt at Target for it to go on. And then she insisted on the placement of the owl on the shirt. But in the end she actually LIKES it. She really really likes it!
